Maybe not the best way!The log cabin corner is perfect. My next one will certainly be better.

So I cut out a very large number of squares of fabric (all different), but I only cut them 8 inches rather than 8.5 inches. Oops. Is there a better block to make with them now that they are too small? Please help! :O) Thanks in advance.94Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295047696900981516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-78358205568267498152015-04-05T10:37:46.827-04:002015-04-05T10:37:46.827-04:00Piano keys are my favotite!

Not realizing how easily they can stretch, I ended up with one more key on the right side of the quilt to make it fit evenly. That's a lot of stretch!Alicearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923591236184130548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-69368848955010522962015-04-05T08:36:13.278-04:002015-04-05T08:36:13.278-04:00Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

I did use the edge stitch on my GIMQ after you briefly mentioned it a month or two ago. I'm so glad you did as it was my first pieced border and it loaded on my quilt frame nicer than any of my previous quilts have just because it doesn't stretch. Would you recommend edge stitching on a regular border too, or just pieced? I love learning new tips.
